174

174 / 365: Politics. We talk a lot in environmentalism of regulation. Top-down. Police the unrestrained hordes seduced by materialism. And so on. There is another kind of politics, though -the politics of fearless speech. Perhaps we can open up patterns by throwing everyday life out of joint. Anarchic theater, the ceremony of the dead, a pageant of extinct species, the Puppet Theater of Displaced Islanders, graffiti of the sunken planet, a neighborhood block party against hydro-fracking. Don't be immune to surprise -the T.V. isn't your eyes.
